From 2007, Soldier Field will be the site of this Saturday's match-up between Iowa and Northern Illinois (Brian Ray)

To start off Iowa football game week, Mike Hlas welcomes Bill Baker – the radio voice of the Northern Illinois Huskies – to the podcast to talk about Saturday’s match-up at Soldier Field between the Hawkeyes and NIU.

After Bill helps Mike get acclimated to Northern Illinois football, Hlas chats with Grant Burkhardt – the online sports editor of TheGazette.com and an alumnus of Ohio University – about Mid-American Conference football and what a game like Saturday’s means to a mid-major school.
